Abstract:
An unsuccessful communication attempt to a mobile receiving device is detected. A contact list associated with the mobile receiving device is accessed. One or more proximate devices to the mobile recipient device are determined. Each of the one or more proximate devices are communication devices of a contact of the contact list. A digitally encoded message is conveyed to at least one of the one or more proximate devices. The digitally encoded message indicates that a communication attempt with the mobile receiving device was unsuccessful and requests a recipient of the digitally encoded message inform a holder of the mobile receiving device of the unsuccessful communication attempt.
